Do you have the entire DVD collection replicated across all three players? I bet not, so how do you have them split up? Kids stuff in one, family in the second, and pr0n in the third?
I've been thinking of buying Photoshop Elements for much the same reason (enough functionality). I cut my teeth on Adobe graphics tools, and am comfortable with the interface (ctrl-drag for this, ctrl-alt-click for that). However much I appreciate a good OSS tool (like The GIMP), I'm willing to pay $100 for software I like better.
So, how do you feel Paint Shop Pro stands up against Photoshop Elements?
Also, any idea how either one of them runs on WINE or CrossoverOffice?
Yes, I believe that init scripts run in Bourne. I think AIX is the odd one out. It's init scripts run in K-shell (ksh).
As someone pointed out, embedded systems don't come with BASH, but then does XPE come with WMP? Embedded systems aren't the topic of hot debate in the EU, it's the standard distro that is (XP Home).
I thought I read something that said the latest MS Office license REQUIRED that you run it only on Windows, therefore making anyone running it through Crossover Office a license violator. That's not so big an issue for a home user, unless MS stoops to the depths of the RIAA, but for a corporate installation, with a public presence and possibly thousands of licenses, it's a huge issue.
Of course, I could be wrong about the license clause. We're still running Office97 for the time being.
And, for a bit of fiction, read The Martian Race by Greg Benford. It takes an X-prize style race to Mars, and takes into account the media rights sales of the whole venture. It's quite a good read.
No kidding. I got past the full page ad, read the "intro" page, and was presented with a bunch of SQL errors on page two. Oh, but the ads got through on page two, just no content, so their counters went up...
Thbbttttt!!!
Is there a way to mod down editors for accepting stories?
Yes, but the speech recognition program would have to be modded to take into account the thing attached to your lip. Of course, this woman could probably fit a beowulf cluster of them in place of what she's got and still have room.
...but that Linux was built using the GNU tools such as the C compiler.
I work on my car using Craftsman wrenches, but I don't call it my Sears/Volvo. Neither do I call it my Chevron/Volvo because of the brand of gas I use, or the Bridgestone/Volvo because of its tires.
We know how to get hydrogen out of a lot of things (water, for instance, through electrolosys). Compressed hydrogen is a common commodity (you can buy a cylinder of it at your local welding supply, I believe). The hydrogen that filled the blimps, like the Hindenburg, was likely from compressed tankage on the ground for the main fill, then from smaller, more portable tanks while in flight.
I do the same thing, often tuning out what others are saying and "checking in" with their monologue every twenty seconds or so to see if they've finished the thought I got the gist of in the first ten or fifteen words. But I find myself adversely affected as well, because of the need for me to "fit in" with the rest of the world (have to be able to hold a job to keep the mortgage paid and all). Often I have to actively ignore my impulse to task switch at work, because I know that if I get onto something more interesting, I'll never come back and finish the less-interesting-but-important-to-the-boss task that I'm working on. The impulses come often enough to be like background noise to my forefront thought processes. I find that listening to music helps quite a bit, though familiar songs draw me to pay attention to the lyrics. When I really have to concentrate, I play electronica intrumentals.
Rome lasted about 1300 years from foundation to fall. The U.S. has only been here about 400 years from its foundation (first non-indigenous settlers, not the formation of the country). If we last as long as Rome did (not likely), we've got some time to go.
Yeah, but from the fall of the Roman Empire (circa 476) to the start of the Renaissance in Italy (circa 1350) was nearly 900 years. To wit, it hasn't even been 900 years since 1350 as of now.
One thing I want to know (couldn't find it on Google) is how long an "age" is.
Actually, I once used that comment in a post somewhere and got an e-mail from someone at the Dirksen Library who said they would love to have a reference to any transcript or other document where the Senator is known to have said that, because they couldn't find one.
I also note that Carl Sagan used to insist that he never said "Billions and billions," a phrase constantly attributed to him.
What do you mean? Aren't most geek hobbyists running a bootleg version of Windows Server 2003? I mean, they're all just a bunch of Microsoft-hating, P2P-using, digital content thieves, aren't they?
Not to try and sound like I'm defending Mr. Perens, as I don't really know the man, nor much about him, but I would say that, in the battle for the desktop, organization will win out. Microsoft, for all their other ills, is way ahead here, and attacking with strategies born from chaos theory (our community's current methods) doesn't seem to be working.
I did a little reading on the UserLinux site, and I don't have much argument at all with what Mr. Perens has to say, nor how he says it. Okay, now I guess I'm defending him. My point is that, in order to move FORWARD, there has to be a clearly defined strategy. As it is now, we're just moving, and forward progress is just by happenstance.
IIRC, MS put some blarney in the latest Office licenses that said it was only legal to use Office on a Windows platform. One would assume that the Office for Mac licenses read differently, but anyone using WINE to run Office XP is (as I said, IIRC and IANAL) violating the license agreement.
I quickly discovered that I saved a ton of battery life on my Canon Powershot G1 by using the viewfinder instead of the LCD. I can shoot all day with the viewfinder, and only an hour or two with the LCD. I want to stick with CF so I can continue with good battery life.

And still at the same low price! How do they do that?

They are still on a decades-long timeline. Here's hoping that The Mars Society can speed that up.

You can find Macs of this class for around US$250 on eBay, about the same price as a low end iPod purchased new.
When will a Linux port be available?

Check your wallet. Is there a card in there identifying you as a member of the Libertarian Party? Just curious...
What do you mean theft? There is no theft, just redirection.

It may not be one, but it has one.

You know how it is; they still think Windows has to come first.
